ma, of Lamira, O., are the guests OF MI

The matter of building the Union Bridge
between this city and Wheeling to allow
the entrance of the W. & l.. E and a ball
dozen other Ohio railroads, now IN COZ
temptation and as many more already con
structed, should meet with the earnest ap-
proval Of every citizens of Martins Ferry.
While Martins Ferry is not IN the same
State with Wheeling our interests are close
" allied and those things which END to
the welfare of one must benefit the other.
Our industries are identical and cheap trans
portation in n city, with a bridge OF the
kind spoken Of, gives the other the same
advantages. The bridge would make out
close relationship with Wheeling advan-
tageous in many ways, where at the pre-
sent time, the close proximity of that city
works in the opposite direction, n Is
really derOgatory TO cur growth and pos.
sible improvement. The roads mentioned
as coming from the interior and northern
part of the State, will surely not come
here unless they can get into Wheeling, and
they cannot get into Wheeling convenient
ly without the bridge. Let us have
the bridge, and let Martins Ferry help to
put it here.
Miss Flora KOehler is the guest of Miss
Jennie Dixon.
The city council, or some one vested
with the authority should see, that the con-
tractor who put in the water main, and the
Wheeling Natural Ca2 Co. repair the
streets which they have so miserably de-
faced. Many of our thOroughfares are in
dangerous condition while nearly all of
them are about as unsightly as can be
imagined. Apparently no attention has
been paid to the condition in which those
above mentioned left the streets they used.
Mrs. Adrain and her daughter, Mrs.
Oscar Allen, of %Smithfeld, are the guests
of Miss Maude Newland.
